chance history
I've told myself I have a chance to make history, and that's my focus.
attain closer feeling hard major playing pun sports work
Having inched closer and accomplished some of my major goals in the sport of golf, no pun intended, why not work as hard as I can to attain those goals if I'm already feeling like I'm playing well and getting more and more comfortable.
fan games people playing punch university wanting watch
I don't think people can watch University of Texas basketball or football games with me - really, anything Texas is playing - without wanting to punch me in the face. I'm as big a Longhorn fan as you'll find.
america best good junior played
PGA of America has been very good to me; played some of the Junior Ryder Cups, and those go down as some of the best experiences I've had on a golf course.
beyond coaches college country difficult golfer junior knows
Without the AJGA, it would be very difficult for the college coaches to find us. Every junior golfer around the country knows about the AJGA and knows that's the way to get to college. And the way to get beyond college.
learned life whenever
Whenever the heat's on, my whole life, I've just kind of learned to focus a little more.
address both motion players putting tension turn weekend
A lot of weekend players struggle with putting because they have too much tension in their hands and arms, both at address and during the stroke. Tension can turn a technically perfect motion into a herky-jerky mess, especially on those knee-knockers.
almost begin mental talk throwing
If you are going to talk negative about a place, you're almost throwing yourself out to begin with because golf is a mental game.
greens miss related
Stats are important to me, especially the ones related to scoring. You're going to miss fairways and greens out here, so how you play from the sand really matters.
ball critical fat keeping left line moving obviously possible putter squares straight target works wrist
My only focus after I start the putter away from the ball is keeping the back of my left wrist as fat as possible from start to finish. This is critical to keeping the putterhead and ball moving straight down the target line after impact. It's also how Rory Mcllroy squares his putterface, and obviously it works for him.
almost behind everyday eyes information initial players putt
Look at the putt from behind the hole. Everyday players almost never do this. They should! Your eyes will take in more information about the slope. Sometimes you'll find that your initial read was incorrect.
age extremely generation guys peers problem transition
The generation that I'm in is extremely talented, and those that are still in school, my peers that are my age that will be out here really soon, you guys will see, will make a pretty easy transition on the PGA Tour. I don't think they will have a problem at all. The game is getting younger, and the game is getting better.
athletic classic kind
Under Armour is new, aggressive, slick, classic but athletic - kind of how I always wanted to be perceived.
brother growing-up dad
To be able to have winning in your blood growing up, whether it was pounding my little brother or trying to beat my dad in something, or just competing on teams with my friends, it was nonstop.
